Must We Have a Victim?
The other day in- a certain
town in Eastern North Carolina
a fireman swung to the street as
his truck dame to a stop at the
curb near a fire, with the inten
tion of running around in front
of the truck and connecting a
hosewlth a hydrant.
At the same moment an auto
mobile which had been racing
along behind the truck but the
noise of the approach of which
had been drownd by the roar of
the truck shot alongside and
ran down the fireman. He i3
now in the hospital.
The town which we have in
mind was not Elizabeth City,
but it very easily might have
been. Sunday is particularly a
dangerous day for a fire truck
to be out. On that day streets
are full of automobiles swing
ing aimlessly about over the
paved streets of the city, with
the driver and occupants of the
car all pining for somewhere
go. The fire alarm gives the
last one of them just what they
are looking for and with one
consent they start for the fire.
Pretty soon they are on the trail
P? fire truck, apparently
trying to sec how close they can
trjijl it.
' Of course it's a dangerous
practice, but yttuth ftiust be
served and the joyriders must
have their Sunday excitement.
And so probably nothing will be
done about the matter until
somebody has been killed or se
riously injured. And then the
practice will be stopped until s
tragedy has been forgotten.
Out to attend a political meet-'
ing last night, despite the storm,
the charter members of the
Elizabeth City Daniels-for-Pres
ident Club have the true crusad
ing spirit.
The Foster dispatch from
Augusta, Georgia, is the first of
the series to be sent by Mr. Fos
ter from the various spriiu;
training camps of the major
leagues in which he will enden
vor to size up the various teams
and forecast their relative
chances in the 1924 pennant
races. A daily dispatch from
Mr. Foster from one or another
of the training camps may be
looked for from now on.
The Advance is in receipt of
a communication from William
P. Lynch, 1127 Mariner street,
| Norfolk, Virginia, to the effect
that the Riverside Athletics of
Norfolk would like to book
games for the coming season
with some junior teams of Eliz
abeth City. Talking about base
ball, is our guess, though the
writer doesn't say so.
The first set of questions and
answers in Foster's baseball
question box will appear on
Thursday, March 13. If there's
a question on your mind about
baseball, write to Mr. Foster.
Ile'll answer it by mail or
through the columns of The Ad
vance, jus* as you prefer.

(Continued From Page One
faatly and serenely held to the path
of duty and proved himself a great
American. The Navy Itself was
against him. and yet he shook the
Navy out of Its outworn traditions
and injected into it a new esprit de
corps and a higher standard of effi
ciency."
Dr. N. H. D. Wilson, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, did not re
member ever to have addressed a
political meeting; but felt that ho
could become a charter member of
the Josephus Daniels-for-President
Club of Elizabeth City and, as a for
mer school-mate and long-time
friend, add his tribute to others that
had been paid Josephus Daniels with
entire propriety. "On a rock-bot
tom of character and common
sense." Dr. Wilson said, "Josephus
Daniels filled the high office of Sec
retary of the Navy with a degree of
credit to himself, his State and his
Nation that was a surprise to his
friends." Dr. Wilson believed that
the same qualities would carry him
through with honor whatever duties
might devolve upon him in the
White House.
Just before the close of the meet
ing the following resolution was
adopted:
"Whereas, the present National
exigency, wherein occurrences of
graft and bribe in connection with
the highest governmental offices in
our country, whfch are revolting to
the spirit of common honesty and
fairness inherent in every true Dem-J
ocrat. are being daily disclosed, de
mands that the man nominated t>y
our party in 1924 for the office of
the President of the United State*
be of unimpeachable integrity and
one the merits of whose ability and
character have been tried and
proved, and,
"Whereas, we have in our midst '
a staunch and true Democrat emin-!
ently qualified and fitted by expert- 1
ence to fill the highest position that j
it is within the power of the Amer-|
i icans voters to bestow, a man who
has already proved his worth and his
ability to deal with and control the
representatives of bribe and special
interests during his two terms as
i Secretary of the Navy in the Wilson
cabinet,
"Therefore, be it resolved by this
assembly, called together as anl
; hereafter acting under the name of a
I 'Josephus Daniels-for-President Club'
that we unqualifiedly endorse and
I recommend Josephus Daniels for the
i Democratic nomination for the Pres
| ident of the United States, and that
I we exert our every effort toward
sending delegates to our County,
State and National conventions in
structed for and interested in nom
inating Josephus Daniels for this)
high office of leadership."
Charter members of the club in I
Elizabeth City are: Mrs. W. J.
Woodley, Mrs. E. M. Stevens, Mrs.
James G. Fearing, Mrs. J. Henry Le
